During this yoga class, we will begin with introductions to each other and to our animal friends. Children can share something special about their pet, or a trick that the pet can do. This will be followed by centering breathing and setting our intention for class. Energizing yoga movement including sun salutations, balance postures, strengthening postures, and twists, will follow, which may result in some laughter at times! We will transition to calming seated and lying down yoga postures towards the end of class. Class will finish with a lying down guided relaxation, which will allow for snuggling with pets.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I absolutely love being a teacher! I have been teaching children yoga since 2013, and adults since 2014. Prior to becoming a Yoga Alliance certified yoga teacher, I received my M.Ed. and worked as a Montessori teacher for 3-6 year olds for over a decade. Amazingly, there are many things in common between the Montessori philosophy and the yoga philosophy! At the root of them both is peacefulness, finding the quiet within yourself and then bringing that to your larger community, whether that is your family, classroom, neighborhood, or beyond. I find joy in sharing both the internal (breathing, stillness, kindness, self-awareness) and external (body movement, self-control, strength) aspects of yoga with my students of ALL ages. I work with young children through seniors who may need to practice yoga in a chair. My own yoga practice has been ongoing since I was a college student. Everyday I come to my mat to move, practice prānāyāma (breathing practices) and meditation. I am so thankful for my practice and the insights I have gained in this work.
In addition to teaching Yoga and Mindfulness for children ages 3-18, I love teaching Vinyasa Flow, Gentle Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Yoga Basics.
I have two daughter and two dogs. When I’m not on my yoga mat you will find me outdoors working in my garden, hiking, camping, exploring, reading, or studying yoga philosophy. A fun fact about me is that I have freckles with the irises of my eyes! I also speak French, a traveller’s level of Mandarin, and I am studying the ancient language of yoga: Sanskrit!
